I kinda find that hard to do. I mean, I must've mocked someone at some time in my life but I'm damned if I can remember when and who. Who in hell am I to belittle other folk's lives? No... the person I mock the most - like pretty much every day - is me. Most of my life I've been different. More often than not at school I was the object of scorn an' ridicule until I started smokin' dope - then somehow folk seemed to come around... But still I was unable to take myself seriously - I've derided my actions and abilities, my decisions and choices all my life. It's been like havin' someone livin' on my shoulder criticisin' my every move, but hey, they reckon it's healthy to be able to laugh at yourself, don't they? Maybe I did it so I could get in first - you know, protect myself from other folks' derision - I dunno...
All I do know is that now, none of that stuff matters any more. Not now I'm where I wanna be - with my man. Hearth and home - it’s a wonderful thing.
